I literally didn't have a stroller at all, but used a backpack or just carried the kids in my arms until they could walk. Babies love it because they can be up where the action is and can see everything and be part of things and still be secure.<BR/><BR/>It does seem like strollers are good for carrying stuff, but not usually the baby.<BR/><BR/>The other thing I learned from my work at Head Start was that it's good for babies to have a lot of floor time (on into todderhood too). On a blanket on the floor, not in those bucket seats or walkers or whatever. That way they can learn to move on their own and figure out how to crawl, walk, etc. Obviously, caregiver is right there beside them much of the time, interacting, especially when they're little.<BR/><BR/>Glad things are going well for you. Babies are exciting!Genkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145714144583893844noreply@blogger.com
